Spain's national team kicked off another edition of the Nations League with the centerpiece match of the entire matchday in England. Newly crowned world champions, in essence, proved the justification for their status there. Although the win over the 'Three Lions' was a hard-fought one, the Red Fury showed true championship character and class. It was precisely thanks to the latter factor that Spain forced the costly English defenders into mistakes, catching them in the most relaxed moments. Moreover, Spain could have scored far more than three goals. It seemed that only the middle third of the game belonged to the English side. There is no doubt that after such a win and such high-intensity football on English soil, Spain will be somewhat less active in the second round. Of course, in Seville the Spaniards will have to play as the team with the initiative. The Croatia national team will travel to Seville to play at the Ramon Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, a side from which for about five years people have been expecting a decline tied to a generational shift. However, the Croatian team has consistently reached the late stages of World Cups, and in 2018 even played in the final. The last World Cup wasn't as successful for Luka Modrić and his company; however they were defeated in North America only by England and Portugal. Moreover, in both matches the contest was fierce, and in the knockout stage against Portugal the Croats were frankly unlucky. Slaven Bilić's side opened their Nations League campaign in Prague. Although many young players featured in the Croatian lineup, the destiny of the match was decided by a precise strike from 41-year-old Modrić and a goal-scoring pass from 37-year-old Ivan Perišić to Marko Pjaca. The Croatian national team represents a classic blend of experience and youth, capable of achieving results here and now. Undoubtedly, the Croats will deploy two defensive lines in Seville. They know how to play against Spain. In eleven head-to-head meetings with this side, Croatia have lost by more than two goals only twice. Bilic is a quite experienced and competent coach who has quality players at his disposal. Let's bet that the visitors will manage to avoid a heavy defeat.
